The intention of DP »IN-VALID-IN« is to find out the structures, which discriminate and exclude disabled persons out of working life or labour market, and at the same time to find out the needs and experiences of employers at employing disabled persons.

Innovation

Text available in

The Development Partnership (DP) »IN-VALID-IN« on the Podravje region is an innovation, because there is no stabilized practice of cooperation between public institution (Employment Service of Slovenia Regional Office Maribor), chamber (Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia Regional Chamber Maribor), trade union (Independent Trade Union Association Regional Organisation Podravje) and invalid company (OZARA d.o.o.). The innovations in DP will be especially process oriented, because they will be focused on new informing methods, partly also goal (establishment of the Information office) and containment focused (influence on system development support mechanisms for employment of disabled people respectively).

The DP »IN-VALID-IN« will mean a creative cooperation of different partners to reach the common goal. The building relations inside the partnership are also a challenge to the local community to recognise its (local and international) interest.
